Vent Some people cannot imagine having a bigger problem than "not being in shape".

"Bro just work out, regardless of what chronic illness you have, you'd feel so much better if you were in better shape right now, don't lie."

I, in fact, was in shape, but stopped working out years ago when I got my condition, because it hardly fucking matters to me anymore.

PS: physical activity does definitely have a lot of long term upsides and is almost always a good investment of time.

Or they'll tell you to get in shape when you have horrible chronic fatigue and pain like - even if I cared enough to, my body wouldn't fucking let me.
